Leech Therapy, as the name implies, is the utilisation of medicinal leeches to treat and cure diseases and promote balance in the human body.

Medical leeches are placed on the patient's affected part (legs for vascular diseases, for example) and allowed to fasten their mouths on the patient's skin. In the process of sucking out "impure" blood, the saliva of the leeches enters through the puncture site, delivering valuable enzymes that act as an anticoagulant, anti-clotting, vasodilator, anesthetic, bacteriostatic, and anti-inflammatory agents. All these promote good blood flow with the prevention and breaking up of formed clots. It also relieves pain and inflammation.

THE HEALING QUALITIES OF LEECHES

Since ancient times, leeches were used to treat many illnesses and disease through bloodletting, a method where blood was drawn out in the hope that removing impure blood would heal the body. Believe it or not, leech therapy is sometimes the best alternative in treating illnesses, and even surpasses pharmacological treatments. Because of its healing effects to the human body, this traditional method of curing diseases is still thriving today.
